| Abstract |
This work was carried to study the effect of addition herbal product, vitamin C and vitamin E on growth performance and carcass traits for broiler chicks during summer. Three hundred, one day- old Hubbard broiler chicks were divided into 4 equal groups with 75 chick each. Group 1 fed on control diet, and other 3 groups were fed on control diets supplemented by lg/ kg diet of herbal product, vitamin C and vitamin E respectively for 7 week of age.
The average live body weight at 7 week of age were 2269, 2189, 2157 and 2097 g for the chicks fed herbs, vitamin C, vitamin E and control diet respectively. There was no significant effect on feed consumption or feed conversion ratio. Body ( rectal) temperature ( C) of chicks didn’t significantly differ through the first 4 weeks of chicks age, however above 4 weeks of age the body temperature of chicks fed herbs or vitamin C diet were significantly lower than control. There were no detected effects on carcass traits of chicks fed different diets.
The result of this study showed that, herbal product and vitamin C can alleviate the deleterious effect of high temperature during summer months. That can reflect or an improvement in body weight gain of chicks above 4 weeks of age.
Keywords: hens, vitamin E, heat stress.
